MEDICARE FOR ALL WOULD SAVE LIVES AND MONEY
All other first world nations already have the equivalent of Medicare For All. Why doesn't the USA? Enough is enough. No more excuses. Let's not accept anything less b/c it is less than humane to leave people without care.

Stanford may have just changed cancer treatment forever. The molecule, called PIP-CpG, combines a tumor-targeting peptide with an immune-stimulating agent, enabling it to home in on cancer cells and activate the body’s natural defenses from within. IN TRIALS NOW.

More than 90% of women will beat their breast cancer diagnosis -- but it’s costing them financially October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The perfect time to bring attention to a disease that affects one in every eight women. While treatments have saved many lives, they come at a cost.

We need #MedicareForAll for all cancer patients. Period. If you are not advocating for this, you aren't paying attention.

The end of breast cancer? Bay Area company says its potential vaccine could block tumors - San Francisco Business Times "If this vaccine does what we believe this vaccine does, this is going to change the face of breast cancer specifically and cancer in general."

Could this vaccine be an end to breast cancer? Will funding for it also be pulled by the current erratic U.S. Secretary of HHS along with other recent vaccine research that has been ended prematurely?

Trump Cuts Cancer Research by 31%, Says Bernie Sanders Report The new report by Senator Sanders claims to uncover Trump’s attacks on science and their impact on public health.

Things are breaking. And not in a good way, not at all. We are in free fall. With a fascist takeover, our ability to protest this is also diminished and in jeopardy. We must align with those trying to push back.

A radiologist confronts her own breast cancer University of Pittsburgh radiologist Dr.Β Wendie Berg, PhD, was diagnosed with breast cancer in June 2014, after discovering that she has dense breast tissue and undergoing a breast MRI. In this articl...

The article fails to mention that evidence suggests radiologists, especially women historically, have an elevated risk of BC due to occupational radiation exposure. Ionizing radiation is a known carcinogen. Low risk is not no risk. What the industry fails to tell women is that no risk is acceptable.

Why don't women have better options than mammograms that don't work for over 65% of women aged 40-60 w/ dense breasts? Ask for MRI screening which is much higher resolution instead. Mammograms fail all too often and this article even points to this as well...silly article.

Currently, patients who've been treated forΒ breast cancerΒ are carefully monitored to see if the tumor returns. This new approach doesn't involve waiting and monitoring: instead, drugs are used to attack the root causes of a relapse.

Counting down to zero: the final warning from a climate diplomat The long read: Before Peter Betts died in 2023, he wanted to pass on what he had learned over many years of negotiating at Cops – including how Paris 2015 was saved at the last bell

The current cancer epidemic and climate change (environmental degradation) are intrinsically interrelated. If we don't soon understand this as a global society, billions will die in the sixth mass extinction event, now already underway according to top scientists.
